BMulligan:I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure I saw a poll recently that showed more Americans believe in the terrestrial influence of angels than accept the reality of Darwinian evolution.

That should be question number one on the ballot - Do you believe in demonic possession? If you answer in the affirmative there will be no need to answer any more questions, we'll simply light your ballot on fire and escort you to a padded cell.

Yep. Something like 70% of the country thinks Angels are real, and like 49% of the country accepts evolution. This explains why we are still re-litigating birth control and marital rape in 2012.

is believing in demonic possession really any more absurd than believing in Christianity, which most of the country does anyway? I don't find that statistic particularly remarkable as I would expect that if you believe in some sort of paradise alternate dimension where you get to live forever after you die and the world being created in a matter of days by magic, you would, at the very least, consider the possibility of demons, ghosts and manbearpig as plausbile.

That's what I don't understand about religion. Where do you draw the line on what you believe? Jesus is kosher but leprechauns are laughable? Your house is haunted, but the guy down the street is crazy for thinking his brainwaves are being monitored by aliens? I tried to ask a religious person about this, and they were genuinely confused, like I was speaking another language.

meat0918:Optimist 15% say humans evolved, but that God had no part in the process.

You know what. I'll still take that over "If man came from monkeys how come there are still monkeys". Even if you think God created evolution and then sat back to watch his petri dish, or God is a micromanager who is constantly tweaking the DNA of His creations? Fine. At least you accept that the process exists.
